|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Lets you insert a local file attachment into a presentation slide and keep it visible as an icon for quick access during a presentation. | Word supports inserting objects from existing files by linking or embedding them, and files can appear as clickable icons in a document or email message. | Google Docs officially documents links, bookmarks, and image insertion, but the help pages reviewed do not describe inserting a local file attachment icon directly into a document page. | Notion supports file blocks, file uploads, drag-and-drop uploads, and embedded file links inside pages. | Acrobat supports attaching files such as PDFs, Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, images, audio, and video to a PDF. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The attachment entry is used directly in a presentation workflow, and the inserted file stays on the slide as a visible icon for live presentation reference. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft's official guidance here focuses on document or email object embedding rather than a slide-based attachment entry in a presentation page. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs focuses more on links, bookmarks, and images, so the reviewed official help does not show the same slide-style local attachment icon workflow. | Compared with WPS: Notion is stronger for workspace file collection and collaboration pages, while WPS is more direct for placing an attachment entry inside a presentation slide. | Compared with WPS: Adobe centers attachments around PDF packaging and distribution, while WPS fits slide-by-slide presentation delivery more closely. |
| Official Source | — | Insert an object in Word or Outlook | Work with links & bookmarks | Images, files & media | Add attachments to PDFs |
Overall Conclusion: If you need to place supporting files directly on a presentation slide and open them during a talk, WPS Attachments fits that workflow well. Microsoft, Google, Notion, and Adobe also support related file insertion or attachment scenarios, but their official guidance emphasizes document objects, links, workspace file blocks, or PDF attachments rather than slide-based presentation access.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable for | Main challenge | How Attachments help |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Project review with supporting files | Project managers, consultants | Slides are concise, but reviewers may ask for original files | Insert contracts, plans, or data files on key slides |
| 2 | Training deck with sample materials | Trainers, teachers | Sample files need to be opened during explanation | Add example documents or spreadsheets to training slides |
| 3 | Proposal review archive | Product, design, operations teams | Reference materials need to stay close to the review deck | Attach PDFs, tables, or images to related slides |
| 4 | Client presentation Q&A | Sales and presales teams | Supporting proof needs to be opened quickly on site | Place quotations, spec sheets, or reference files in the deck |
| 5 | Internal retrospective materials | Team leads | Presentation files and supporting documents are stored separately | Keep related files attached to the relevant retrospective slides |
